AWS A5.5 E8016-B5

Notes on Usage

Welding Positions:

1. Dry the electrodes at 350℃∼400℃(662～752℉) for 60 minutes before use.
2. Keep the Arc as short as possible, and avoid large width weaving.
3. Adopt back step method or strike the Arc on a small steel plate prepared for this particular purpose to prevent blow-holes at the Arc starting.

4. Use the wind screen against strong wind.
